“Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there’s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It’s a love story, baby, just say, Yes,” it said, mashing together Swift lyrics.

Spotify offered its users looking for Swift an alternative playlist including suggestively titled songs such as Haim’s “If I Could Change Your Mind” and Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel.”

Swedish-founded Spotify and competing streaming companies have been a bete noire for many artists and record labels, who charge that musicians earn little revenue and that the services discourage album sales.

On its blog post, Spotify countered that it paid nearly 70 percent of its revenue back to the music world.

“We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy,” it said.

While Swift’s move was sweeping in scope, many major artists have delayed the streaming of new albums so as not to discourage initial sales.

Swift did not immediately comment on the decision but Scott Borchetta, the head of her label Big Machine Records, last year told trade publication Billboard that streaming services were part of a “continued race to the bottom” in devaluing music.

The Internet has responded to the news with a barrage of Swift-catered jokes.
